Geodetic elasticity theory its matter and an application

  • Published:
Bulletin Géodésique Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The geodetic elasticity theory is broadly outlined. It relies heavily on the structure matrix which mainly is defined as weight per area unit.

An actual computation of the structure matrix has been performed for distance measurements in the Danish fundamental network. The mean value of the matrix unveils a fairly good isotropy in the network while the homogeneity evidently depends on the area of the single triangles.
